Chapter 16

– General Robert E. Lee

A quick knock on the door was followed by the entrance of Malone. “Kulnel, the boys got someone trying to get through our lines.”

Hunter looked up from the map he’d been studying with his officers. “What does he know?”

“Can’t get a thing out of him one way or another. Says he wants to speak to you.”

“I don’t have time for a private consultation with a—” Hunter’s gaze drifted to the window where he saw the lone figure being held at gunpoint about twenty yards away. He shifted his focus to Carter and then to the other men in the room. “Excuse me, gentlemen. Perhaps it’d be best if I see what he has to say. Send him in, Lieutenant Malone.”

When the other officers had departed and the door opened again, Hunter stared at the figure who stared at the floor. His heart sank and swelled at the sight of the slender form whose boots and trousers were splattered with mud. His nerves quivered and tingled at the danger she had placed herself in by coming, and his mind whirled at what could possibly have been her motive for doing so. He dismissed the escort with an impassive nod, hoping it masked the hurricane of feeling raging within.

Hunter heard the door latch close, but waited for her to speak. He could not help but remember with anguish the torment of their last meeting. And deep down, he possessed little hope there was to be a sudden reconciliation now.
